Benzene, naphthalene, and phenanthrene are salted in by salts containing the trans-[Co(en)2NCSCl]+ cation. Since the extent of salting in increases with the polarizability of both the anion and the hydrocarbon molecule, dispersion forces appear to play a major role. The Setschenow parameters can be fitted in a semiempirical manner to the equation of Bockris, et al.; the McDevit-Long equation is less successful.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
